Brain tumors in infancy and early childhood: a retrospective cohort study from a low- and middle-income country
Abstract Background Brain tumors in infancy and early childhood exhibit distinct clinicopathologic features and outcomes compared to older children. Despite their clinical significance, no study in this region has specifically characterized brain tumors in this age group. This study aimed to…

A Two-Tier early warning system for postoperative cerebral edema: translating risk factors into action
Abstract Early identification of neurological deterioration remains a challenge in resource-limited settings, where reliance on single-parameter scores may delay timely intervention. Building on Abdelrahman et al.’s findings, we propose a Two-Tier Hybrid Early Warning System combining a simplified…

Leptin increases KATP channels’ surface expression of GT1-7 cells to regulate low glucose response
Abstract Glucose-sensing neurons in the hypothalamus play a pivotal role in maintaining glucose homeostasis in vivo and in detecting hypoglycemia. Leptin, a key hormone regulating body weight and energy balance, has been shown to modulate these glucose-sensing neurons, thereby enhancing glucose…

Human bite as the etiology of a rare case of enterococcus faecalis cerebral abscess
Abstract Background Brain abscesses are a devastating neurological condition usually seen in children in developing countries. Brain abscesses from human bites are however, uncommon, and more uncommon are brain abscesses with Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) as the offending agent. Case…

Clinical characteristics and outcomes of surgically treated melanoma brain metastases: a single-center case series
Abstract Background Melanoma has one of the highest propensities among solid tumors to metastasize to the brain, and melanoma brain metastases (MBM) represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality in advanced disease. Despite historically poor outcomes, the advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors…

M1 segment morphology and temporary clipping during middle cerebral artery aneurysm surgery: a single-center surgical cohort
Abstract Background Microsurgical planning for middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms usually emphasizes aneurysm size, rupture status, dome projection, neck configuration, and branch incorporation. The preoperative course of the parent M1 segment may also influence exposure and proximal control…

Heavy alcohol intake as a risk factor for rupture of intracranial aneurysm: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract Background Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a critical neurological condition associated with high morbidity and mortality. Identifying modifiable risk factors, such as heavy alcohol intake, is vital for developing effective prevention and screening strategies. Objective To…

Management of pediatric posterior fossa dermoid cysts: a systematic review and illustrative case report
Abstract Background Dermoid cysts of the posterior fossa are less common congenital lesions that arise from ectodermal inclusions during neural tube closure. Their deep location in certain instances, as well as their slow growth, often delays diagnosis until symptoms from mass effect or rupture…

Evaluation of cellular reaction in brain tissue to platinum coil used in cranial aneurysm treatment
Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the histomorphological cellular and fibrotic responses in rat brain tissue following direct placement of platinum coils, simulating potential coil protrusion or extravasation scenarios encountered during endovascular treatment of ruptured…

Intraoperative rupture of an occult anterior cerebral artery aneurysm during olfactory groove meningioma resection: a case report
Abstract Background The coexistence of intracranial tumors and cerebral aneurysms is rare but may significantly complicate diagnosis, surgical planning, and intraoperative management. Case presentation A 56-year-old female presented with anosmia, headache, and generalized seizures. Magnetic…

A comprehensive protocol for shunt infection prevention based on segregation of duties and zoning control
Abstract The author introduces a comprehensive protocol for shunt infection prevention based on the principles of Segregation of Duties and Zoning Control. By implementing this personal standardized protocol, the author has maintained a zero-infection rate in shunt surgeries over an eight-year…

A rare case of paediatric cerebellar neurocytoma with conflicting histologic features of medulloblastoma – diagnostic and management challenges
Abstract Background Cerebellar neurocytoma is an exceptionally rare central nervous system tumour, often misdiagnosed due to its histologic overlap with medulloblastoma, a more common and aggressive paediatric brain tumour. Only four cases of paediatric cerebellar neurocytoma has been documented so…

Craniosynostosis: contemporary surgical strategies and timing- evolving concepts in technique selection, neurodevelopment, syndromic disease, and multidisciplinary care
Abstract Craniosynostosis is a heterogeneous craniofacial disorder defined by premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures, resulting in abnormal skull growth and, in some cases, elevated intracranial pressure and neurodevelopmental compromise. Advances in pediatric neurosurgery, craniofacial…

Noninvasive intracranial pressure waveform metrics: from correlation to clinical impact
Abstract Noninvasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring remains an important yet unmet need in neurocritical care. The study by de Moraes et al. provides valuable evidence demonstrating a strong correlation between invasive ICP measurements and noninvasive waveform-derived pulse shape index…

Clinical machine-learning model for laminoplasty vs. laminectomy in IDEM tumors
Abstract Intradural extramedullary (IDEM) spinal tumors are commonly managed with laminectomy or laminoplasty. Recent evidence demonstrates that laminoplasty preserves posterior elements, reduces postoperative deformity, and minimizes complications. However, there is no standardized framework…

Cystic angiocentric glioma: a rare form of brain tumor
Abstract Background Angiocentric glioma (AG) is a rare form of brain tumor first reported in 2005. It is mainly characterized by cortical epileptogenic lesions with an angiocentric arrangement of tumor cells. Cystic degeneration is an uncommon radiological manifestation of this disease. Case…

Burr hole craniostomy versus minicraniotomy for chronic subdural hematoma: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract Background Chronic subdural hematoma (CSHD) is a common neurological disorder, especially in older people and those on anticoagulant therapy, with incidences of 58 per 100,000 and 80 per 100,000 annually in those individuals over 65 and 75 years, respectively. It is caused by tearing of…
